This year we had a glittering doll size Christmas tree.

It was thanks to Mod Podge and sparkly glitter.

Most of the tree decorations were made from items I found on clearance after Christmas last year.  To give them a new look I used this simple Washout for Kids Modge Podge.  It went on everything in my stash, glass, plastic, fabric, styrofoam and paper.  And do you know what?  I worked great!

Scoop up mini plastic or glass bulbs on the clearance isle in any color.

Add your own color next year with a little glitter!

I even tried mini beads and the Mod Podge held them great!

These mini fabric bows are a cute shape, but kind of drab.

Now they are just fun!

These mini presents are styrofoam picks for flower arrangement.  They were cheap, cheap, cheap last year, with after-holiday discounts.

I pulled out the pick, gave them a dip in glitter, wrapped them in new ribbon and stuck on a mini bow.  Now they are full of fresh sparkle!

I loved how my random stash of clearance items…

…came together in a colorful glittering Christmas!

Did you notice the fun polka dot, and striped circles on the tree?  They were a cinch to make and I think they pulled the whole look together.  I’ll give you a closer peek at them soon so you can throw a few in your Christmas box for next year!
